Revenue Model Structure

Homefund generates revenue from three sources when properties are sold:

Entry Revenue

Revenue from paid entries sold (excludes free entries)

3% Closing Fee

Charged on the final sale price of the property

50% Premium Split

Half of the amount sold above reserve price (base: 20% above reserve)

Free Entries as CAC: Free entries start at 33% of total entries in Year 1 and decline to 20% by Year 5 as the user base grows. They are treated as Free Entry CAC and convert to equity in properties held as assets on Homefund's balance sheet.
Example (Base Case): $400K property, $380K reserve, $480K sale price → 67,031 entries @ $1 each ($8 avg spend) (66.7% paid, 33.3% free) → $357,672 entry revenue (paid) + $14,400 closing fee + $50,000 premium split = $422,072 cash revenue per property. Free entry equity (33%→20% of reserve) is expensed as CAC and tracked as a balance sheet asset — not included in revenue.

CAC Components: Total CAC includes (1) equity value of free entries given away, (2) traditional marketing spend (social media, SEO, paid ads = 10% of revenue), (3) referral program costs (2 entries per referral at $1 marginal cost each = $2 per referral), and (4) influencer marketing (~$3k/month for partnerships). LTV:CAC ratio >3x indicates healthy unit economics.

Key Insights:

  • • Fixed blockchain costs per entry become smaller % of revenue as property values and entry prices optimize
  • • Payment processing fees remain constant as % of revenue, but overall margin improves with scale
  • • Higher gross margins in later years provide more cushion for OpEx and drive profitability
